Important Metabolic Pathways and Biological Processes Expressed by Chicken Cecal Microbiota.

abstract：:Arctic ground squirrels (Urocitellus parryii) are active for a scant 3 to 5 months of the year. During the active season, adult squirrels compete for mates, reproduce, and fatten in preparation for hibernation, while juvenile squirrels, weaned in early July, must grow and acquire sufficient fat to survive their first ...

abstract：:A straightforward method is described for screening methanotrophic colonies for soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) activity on solid media. Such activity results in the development of a colored complex between 1-naphthol, which is formed when sMMO reacts with naphthalene, and o-dianisidine (tetrazotized). Methanotro...
